Board rules

These rules are disclosed to clarify the various responsibilities of all community members here on Dave's Forums. They shall be adhered to by everyone to ensure that our board runs smoothly and provides a fun and productive experience for all of our community members and visitors.

Spam is pointless, meaningless, repetitive, or nonsensical posts. Spamming is against the rules of this forum. Accidental or unintentional spamming will initially result in a PM (Private Message) warning you of your error. Deliberate or persistent spamming will result in a temporary suspension, and in extreme cases your posting rights may be removed. #

Flaming is insults, abuse, and swearing directed at a specific member, person, or group of people. Flaming is against the rules of this forum. Anyone who flames to the extent that it spoils the enjoyment of the board for others will result in a suspension or removal of your posting rights. #

Warez is illegal software, usually downloaded. The discussion of warez is not encouraged at these forums. Specific promotion of or linking to warez, including no-cd cracks, will incur a suspension or removal of posting rights. #

Posting pornographic images is against the rules of this forum. Anyone who posts pornographic images or links will receive a suspension or removal of posting rights. #

Racism and all forms of discrimination are strictly prohibited at these forums. Anyone posting racially offensive, or general discriminatory material will, at the very least, receive a suspension, but will usually be banned from posting immediately and without warning. #

Any signature text or graphics that are deemed too large or inappropriate will result in your signature being removed. #

This includes signature spaces; any links, URLs, or text & images in your signature will be removed if deemed to be detrimental to/at the expense of this forum.Abuse of the PM system by sending unsolicited mass mailings or advertisings will result in a warning and/or removal of posting/PM rights. This is strictly enforced. If you receive unwanted PM mail, please report it to a member of staff.#
